Amid the incident involving the arrest of two Jameis Winston fans, many others took to the social media portal to criticize the sophomore player for his recent run-in with the law and other unpleasant off-field incidents during his time at Florida State.

It can be noted that last season, Jameis Winston was accused of sexually harassing a female student, but he escaped the case for he was not charged by anyone that time.

Additionally, Jameis Winston got suspended from the baseball team for three games and was even ordered to perform 20 hours of community service after stealing $32 worth of crab legs at a local grocery store.

"I knew there was going to be some negativity going into it," FSU Sports Information Director Elliott Finebloom wrote. "The goal of the Twitter Q&A was to continue to find ways to connect our fans and the players they support. That's important to us ... and social is a big way of doing it these days. That was the ultimate goal."

"Do you know that you have to Buy One to get One Free at Publix?" one wrote.

"This was doomed from the beginning," Director of the Ohio University School of Journalism Robert Stewart tweeted.

"It's basically a setup. Whoever thought this was a good idea had not done P.R. 101, which is to think about what all could go wrong. Everything about this was naive," Stewart added.
